CVE-2022-49413
HIGHLinux Kernel 4.12-5.18.3 - Use-After-Free in BFQ Bio Merging
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bfq: Update cgroup information before merging bio When the process is migrated to a different cgroup (or in case of writeback just starts submitting bios associated with a different cgroup) bfq_merge_bio() can operate with stale cgroup information in bic. Thus the bio can be merged to a request from a different cgroup or it can result in merging of bfqqs for different cgroups or bfqqs of already dead cgroups and causing possible use-after-free issues. Fix the problem by updating cgroup information in bfq_merge_bio().
